abstract = {While a large number of aerobic free-living protists have been described within the last decade,
the number of new anaerobic or microaerophilic microbial eukaryotic taxa has lagged behind.
Here we describe a microaerophilic genus and species of amoeboflagellate isolated from a nearshore
marine site off the coast at Plymouth, Massachusetts: Subulatomonas tetraspora nov. gen.
nov. sp. This taxon is closely related to Breviata anathema based on both microscopical features
and phylogenetic analyses of sequences of three genes: SSU-rDNA, actin, and alpha-tubulin.
However, Subulatomonas tetraspora nov. gen. nov. sp. and B. anathema are morphologically
distinctive, differ by 14.9% at their ssu-rDNA locus, and were isolated from marine and ?slightly
brackish? environments, respectively. Phylogenetic analyses of these two taxa plus closely
related sequences from environmental surveys provide support for a novel clade of eukaryotes
that is distinct from the major clades including the Opisthokonta, Excavata, Amoebozoa and
?SAR? (Stramenopile, Alveolate, Rhizaria).}
